"FOR CITY MARSHAL. We are authorized toannounce the name of M RIGHT, as candidate for the office of city marshal, sub- Ject to the action of the democratic party James G. Blaine and Levi P. Mor- ton are sheltered by the same roof in Washington. It is rumored that James and Levi have been whisper- ing together about Beam: King Kalakaua of the Sandwich Islands has reduced his army to a brass band of sixty-five pieces. Such a force might be very instrumental in repelling an enemy. The Illinois grangers are becom- ing troublesome. They want to know why it is that state taxes in that state are 13 cents more on the $100 valuation than in Missouri. And Illinois is presumed to have no state debt. The farmers will find out after awhile that republican ex- travagance causes the difference. John L. Morrison, of Howard Co. has filed his bond and taken the oath of office as warden of the peni- tentiary. He gave bond inthe sum of $40,000. The warden’s son Geo. Morrison, will succeed C. E. Gill, as correspondence clerk and ursher; J. P. Smith, of Fayette second chief clerk, and Robert Lee Morrison, also -@s8on of the warden, will succeed Captain Harper as chief clerk, asé suming charge February 1st. Resolutions of respect were offer- ed Thursday in both houses of con- gress to the memory of Col. James N. Burnes. In accordance with the terms of the resolution the commit- tee consisting of Senators Vest, Teller and Coke. (Mr. Teller hay- ing been substituted for Mr. Cullom) and Representatives Mansur, Stone _ of Missouri, Wade, Sayres, Bynum, Henderson of Iowa, and Perkins was appointed to accompany the re- mains of Mr. Burnes to St. Joseph Mo. a ee _. Itisjusta little bit amusing to hear friend Austin, the present city treasurer, lay the financial condition of Butler at the democratic door. He goes farther than city or even county democracy, and talks about the party in the state being respon- sible. We would like for Brother Austin to inform our people in all candor, (if that element is not for eign to his makeup) what party is responsible for the enormous rail- road bonded debt that this township is now groaning under, the burdens of which fall heavily upon the citi- zens of Butler? The present “hide- bound democratic state constitu- , tion,” would no doubt have been a very good thing at that time to have prevented that damnable outrage by & republican court. —_—__— The result of the vote on Tuesday for the proposition to compromise the bonded debt of Pleasant Hill, ‘Was a surprise to most thinking peo.

The Toes desires above all things to sec Butler get out of the rut into which she has fallen in the past few | years and take that stand, hick she among the prosperous west. | deserves, Why should she not? Shehas equal ifnot superior advantages in loca- Mo. She is surrounded by as rich farm- ing country as can be found, conve- | nient to water, wood and coal. The time was when Butler was the envy | | of all the cities and towns in this , section, on account of the thrift and business jike aspect she then | presented, but her glory has sadly departed. The cause of her depart | ing glory can be traceable to but | one fact—internal discensions and | strife. For years factional jealous ies and bitter political coutests have kept the town in a hub-bub, and an uproar. Property has been depre ciated, streets and alleys neglected and crossings left to rot and in some instancesto be entirely mis placed. Every proposition submit- ted for water works has been voied down, until it has now reached a stage when something will have to be done. During this time we have had clever gentlemen and business men of broad views on the town board, end much good was accom- plished by their direct efforts, but the council has ever been hampered not only by lack of funds, but by a divided and unsympathetic public. The Tres was congratulating the people of Butler on the fact that all this was changed, that a better feel- ing now exists among all faction, and a disposition among all classes to work together for the advance- ment of the city’s interests, when suddenly, two months before the city election, and in a two hours notice, one or two politicians at- tempt to resurrect all the old preju- dice and discensions by calling a convention to place a city ticket in the field, thereby springing a cam paign on the people at this early date, which can not in the nature of things, be productive of much good fruit. No one will deny the rights of any citizens to meet to discuss public matters at any time they see fit, and to nominate a ticket if they so desire, but any democrat or re- publican taking part in such a con- vention should fore-swear allegiance to old parties. When the devil begins to quote scripture and preach morals for the public, the honest citizen had best be on his guard, so when professional politicians sud- denly become sv solicitous for the public good as to disregard all party ties, it is, to say the very least, room for strong assumption that ev- erything is not as it appears on its face. It is due the gentlemen who were nominated for mayor and ald- ermen to say that they were not con- sulted in this matter and were nom- inated without their wishes or con- sent. We would suggest to these gentlemen who are so anxious to es- chew politics in city affairs that the present board, with the single ex- ception of Mr. Pharis was elected on a citizens ticket, (Judge Levy having been nominated by the dem- ocrats and endorsed by the citizens,) and we can say to their credit that we have never had a more careful and painstaking board, and the ma- jority of them are heavy taxpayers, consequently the action of a few in springing this taxpayers conven- tion is a direct reflection upon these gentlemen. —_—X—X—X—X—X— The late campaign brought out the following story from an orator of the labor party: A farmer had a son who had no special aptitude for business, and he was puzzled what todo with him. He concluded to’ try an experiment, so he locked the boy ina room in which there was only an apple, a bible and a dollar. A few minntes later and he stole quietly to the room; he had made up his mind that if he found him eating the apple he would make a good farmer; if he were reading the bible, he should be trained for the pulpit, and if he had takenthe mon- ey, his success as a broker was as- sured. Upon entering the room he found the boy sitting on the bible eating the apple with the dollar in his pocket. The boy became an able poltician. : FLORA’S FATAL FRENZY.

Delegates and visitors disiring to attend the Immigration Convention at Clinton, on the 5th of February will please read this circular careful ly: Curxtoy, Mo., Jan. 24th, 1889. Arrangements have been made with the railroads centering in this city to transport all delegates and visitors to the Convention for oue and one third fare for the round trip. The Missouri Pacific and the Mis souri, Kansas & Texas railroads will charge full fare coming, and one- third fare returning, on the certifi- cate plan.

Recent | experiments by a syndicate compos led principally of Kansas City and | Wyandotte county gentlemen, have | souri and ; demonstrated that there is no finer | fruit growing region on the conti Less than five years ago this | syndicate purchased 2,200 acres of timbered land in Howell county for the purpose of making an experi- ment. A tract of 700 acres was cleared of its timber aud 25,000 ap- ple, 1,000 peach and 1,000 pear trees, besides forty acres of smaller fruits were planted. Aithough the trees Were quite young the peach crop of 1888 brought $10,000 in the Kan sus City market, while a very fair crop was harvested from young ap- ple tees. Athe preseat time the indicatious are that a much larger crop will be harvested in 1889, and the is making urrange- tents to plant 1,000 acres in peach trees. The success of the experi- ments in scientific fruit growing has induced imany of the farmers to piant iarge orchards. The quality oi the fruit is said to be first-class, ! nent. company aad if properly mauaged there is good round profit in the business or the pioducer. Kansas City is beconing an extensive fruit market by reason of the splendid facilities or d.stribution toall parts of the country ani the developmeut of this seat industry in Southern Missouri aud Kansas is looked upon as very m portant.
